I have chosen Dr. Rubis in Tulsa for my Mommy Makeover! I'm currently 5'2" and 180 pounds. I know that sounds a little high, but I've lost 50 pounds and been solidly at this weight through my last two pregnancies. I wear two pants sizes larger in my waist than I do on my hips and thighs, so I'm excited to fit normally into a size again.
I went in for a consultation with Dr. Rubis and his... more

Dr. Miller and his staff are absolutely wonderful from the beginning to end of postoperative care. I did a tummy tuck and breast lift with implants last year. Last week I went back for a thigh lift and also upper body liposuction. I did not look into real self much before my own surgery and did not take my own before photos. At some point pending my husband's approval I may ask the clinic and... more

I have never had a pretty stomach or breasts. I've always struggled with body image because my stomach has a bifurcation and never looked completely flat, even when I was a size 0. Additionally, I have hypoplasia in one breast, resulting in significant breast size differences (1/2 cup +), which is less noticeable when I'm lean, but was very noticeable when pregnant or breastfeeding. I also... more

After losing 50 lbs with improved diet and exercise and after deflating the breasts from birthing 4 kids, I finally decided to go for it all! Initially satisfied and proud of my new body, I unfortunately quickly needed breast revision due to bottoming out of the implants, but then he ruined my breasts. Now I don't trust him and have wasted $20k! The repair from another PS is going to cost me... more

After 5 consultations, lot's of research, mental preparation and contemplation, I made my final decision! Dr. Greg Ratliff in Tulsa is going to do my TT and breast revision.
Soon, no more vertical c-section scar, stretched out abdominal muscles and capsular contracture! Yesss! I'm so excited! AND, no drains will be used! (That's the plan anyway)
Now I'm just doing what I can to be ready!
I... more

Hello all...I am a young mother of 4 beautiful kids, 6, 5, 3, and 2 months. I have wanted a BA since I was old enough to know what a woman looked like. I have always had a very thin, athletic build. After having my first child, I was still thin, but my skin hung on me from carrying a 10lb baby (my 3 boys were all 10lbs, my daughter was 8). My once little but perky boobs turned into raisins. I... more

I have wanted a tummy tuck every from the moment I started gaining weight with my daughter. I had a husband who was finacially able to pay but too immature and insecure to make his wife (now ex-wife) happy and able to love herself more. So now I am single and ready to do this for me! I cannot wait for that day when I can pull up a pair of jeans and not worry about the huge bulge that... more

When I turned 40, I was determined to find the better me that had been covered for years! This journey began with a weight loss challenge at work, which I won! It quickly turned me into a fitness fanatic as I was introduced to a life filled with Zumba and Weight Lifting, I wouldn't trade this love for anything, it caused me to feel strong, confident and in control at least with my clothes... more

I was the happiest girl in the world the day of surgery, and for about 2 weeks after. Then the problems started. My implants fell to low and far apart. My tummy tuck left me with a puppy dog ear and need lipo my surgery was expensive compared to other doctors that would do all three procedures for 2,000 dollars less than the doctor I went with. He said all the right things and made my trust in... more

I'm finally going to do it! TT and Lift with BA. I'll be 40 in May and hubby decided to let me do this as my birthday gift. I've wanted this as long as I can remember. I lost about 100 pounds 13 years ago and I've had all this hanging skin since that time. I'm scheduled for surgery but I'm really worried. I went to three different PS's and got three different Treatment plan's... I hope I've... more
